Venu Vedam asked, Hi Chetan, Have read all your books. The best of the lot is Five Point Someone. A feedback: All your stories start in a very interesting manner but the middle portion kind of drags - again picking up momentum towards the end. Thank you for pricing your books aggressively. Chetan Bhagat answers, Thanks Vedam, will try to be more gripping. And yes, fight a lot with publisher to keep prices down.

Is there any suggested means to contact you or someone who we can work with? By the way honestly I have NEVER read your books (sorry) but a lot of other guys & gals have and they look up to you as a "youth generation" super star. :)Chetan Bhagat answers, Shivam, please do read the book.

kv asked, Hi Chetan. Why dont you venture into writing something different?

By the way, Jeffery Archer is great!

Kalpesh asked, Chetan do you consider translating your books in Hindi or Regional Language so that larger section of people could enjoy it ??
